It always gives me an
amazing feeling to be invited to the event of the brand that I already use for
a long time. And this time, I was invited to Bio Oil Event and it’s such a
pleasure that I knew that the event would be a fun, and informative one. So
here are the series ot the stories!

Welcomed with a pretty décor
with the touch of white and orange, it just feels comfortable to sit for the
next hours. They have placed our table name tag so that we could find out seat easily.

Just as I took my seat, I
began to take pictures of the ambience, and after that, of course, having some
shots of myself. Here are the results.

Anyway, the sessions are really great. I love how I got some
useful information about the skin, starting from what is the true definition of
healthy skin, how to differentiate skin
types and skin condition. Here is what I got from the dermatologist:

1. Skin Types

Skin Type is a congenital factor. From the day you were born until you
grow up, your skin type will always be like that. There’s no such condition
where your skin type is changing suddenly (for example: feeling like you have
normal skin type but lately you think it has changed to dry). If you have
normal skin type, it will always be. The condition where you feel that your
skin is dry is actually the dehydrated skin condition that you are having.

2. Skin Condition

Skin condition is caused by many factors, the environment, weather, how
you treat your skin from outside and inside, etc. For example if you are working
full time in a room with AC, and you rarely drink water, you also don’t use any
skin care, your skin will feel dry. But it doesn’t mean it becomes dry skin, it
is just dehydrated.

From these cases, we
could draw a conclusion that dry skin
is about the skin type since you were born, because your skin has little oil content, and dehydrated skin is about the skin
condition in which you have little water
content in your body and your skin.

THE PRODUCT

With all the understandings,
let’s move on to the product review to know how Bio Oil solves those problems.

Packaging

Comes in 4 size of packages, it would be really easy for you to just pick the size that you need. If the area that you would apply Bio Oil is quite small and you think it just will need not really much of Bio Oil, you can pick the smallest size, and vice versa.

Function

If you think Bio Oil is just
for stretch marks, you should’ve known more about this holy grail product.
Truth is, it has so many functions as mentioned below:

1.1. Disguise the scars

It can be applied for either old scars or new scars

2.2. Stretch Marks

It helps to reduce the possibility of forming stretch marks during
pregnancy,

It’s pretty amazing when
you can combine your passion with your work. Who agree? As a youtuber and
blogger, I enjoy every phase of this journey. That doesn’t mean that I have
achieved everything on the lists, but at least I have been in the middle of the
journey. Be grateful with what you’re working on, yet don’t ever feel enough
that you always want to achieve more, right?

Anyway, talking about how
I enjoy living my passion, one of the things that I enjoy is staycation. And
this time, through this blog, I’m gonna share my first staycation in Jakarta,
that is a staycation in Holiday Inn
Express Jakarta Pluit Citygate, a three-star hotel in North Jakarta.

Let’s just jump to the
review session :D

THE BEDROOM

The first time I bumped to the bedroom I feel it’s the type of a
hotel bedroom that I like. It’s clean, everything is neat and the design is
quite minimalist. Anyway, I love their floor-to-ceilingwindow! There aren’t many 3-star hotels that offer this kind of
window, right? Anyway, the bellboy is quite responsive too! As soon as I
request something, they would come in around 5 minutes.

THE BATHROOM

The bathroom is quite
simple, actually. The toiletries are also standard but there is a sign that
says “You can always have more (of
toiletries)” that caught my
attention. I mean, they offer us to ask for more if we need it. Doesn’t that
sound like a nice offering? Anyway there is a flexible hanger that also caught
my attention. You can hang your clothes while taking a shower there.

THE BREAKFAST

The breakfast main menu
is quite ok; it was a standard breakfast but with good quality. I mean they all
taste nice. The fried rice, fried noodle, chicken, dory, and etc taste good.

However, the side menu is
not standard. They have very good croissants! And also, they have other kind of
side menu, for example bread pudding (although it was served lukewarm, which
made it tastes not that nice, in my opinion), and also some breads, and
cereals. The cereals aren’t just koko krunch or cornflakes, there are various
types of it which made us curious to try one by one.

Who are coffee lovers
here? You might love it that they have a grinding machine! It’s quite rare, a
3-star hotel usually will just provide you with instant coffee.

FACILITIES

They have a gym room that
is well-maintained, I can see how everything is neat and clean. And I love the
lighting as the sunlight can enter the room too. The equipment is quite
complete for a work out during a stay, like there are some dumbbells,
treadmills, and others.

Across the gym is a
laundry room. I was quite shocked that they have coin laundry machines. That
would ease the hotel occupants, right? And also, they have steam iron! I never
tried it before until my husband and I tried to browse about it and we managed
to do it, in the end!

ACCESS TO THE MALL

If you don’t know yet,
Holiday Inn Express Jakarta Pluit Citygate is actually located inside Emporium
Pluit Mall, so, of course, we can directly access the mall. It took 2 kind of
elevators but it’s quite easy, approximately 10 minutes to walk to the mall. And
by the way, they also have a partnership with the restaurants in the mall, so
you can just order their foods and the waiter would just come to the hotel, to
deliver your food. In short, it’s quite easy to get the food you want as
Emporium Pluit Mall is quite a complete mall

Anyway, that’s all the
review of Holiday In Express Jakarta Pluit
Citygate. I hope it could be a nice info for you who are looking for a
hotel to stay in Jakarta. Don’t forget to watch the video on my Youtube Channel! Thank you for reading!
See you on the next blog!

”Everyone
is born different”. We’ve heard that a lot and yet, we still complain so much.
But as I grew up, I started to realize that if there is just one type of color
in this world, how boring that could be. So ya, just take differences as
uniqueness, okay?

Something
unique that I got is my eyelashes! It’s kind of going down and it’s not just
that – it’s pretty hard for people, including me just to make it curled up;
even the make-up artists. Even that those MUAs and I have tried some different
curler brands, it still doesn’t work out.

Until I
found this product, uhm and by the way this blog is purely not sponsored. I
bought the product myself.

Here it
is, the heated eyelash curler from Brun Brun Paris.

THE PRODUCT

Even though maybe we are a little bit worried about the heat –
perhaps wondering If it could harm our eyes or not, the
heat is actually very safe as it feels just warm, not hot at all. You can feel it
by putting your finger there, even after some seconds, it won’t hurt at all.
The heated clamp part is also coated with silicone material, which is a very
good isolator, as the reason that the heat doesn’t feel too hot.

That’s
why, it is very safe as eyelashes are very near to the eyes. But, if you wear
contact lens, I recommend you to use this before you wear your contact lens because
as I experienced myself, the eyes would feel very dry if you wear contact lens
first.

It uses
2 AAA batteries.

BEFORE

Let’s
take a look to my eyelashes condition before using the heated eyelash curler.

AFTER

And
taa-daa! You can see it curled up perfectly now (no mascara at all). Even it may seem just an
ordinary things to some people, it is not for me. This is the newest, one of
the greatest findings in my life! Haha.

Anyway,
that’s all for today's blog. Thanks for bearing up with me. I hope you enjoy! See
ya later! ;)

Hey everyone! Since it's still early January, I just
wanna say "Happy New Year!” May you take this year seriously, to look
after progress by progress till you find the better you in each day! xoxo.

Anyway,
if you know that my skin is quite dry and sensitive (acne prone at the same
time; which is acne-prone skin usually comes with oily skin), of course it is
hard for me to find the skin care which is safe for my skin.

Let me introduce you to the brand created by a famous Taiwan Beauty Guru; called Niu Er. The brand name is NARUKO.

So I got this skin care from them (they just gave me theirs
without demanding anything from me) and after I have tried for some weeks, I
decided to write a blog about it even that they don’t ask. But.. why?

Let’s
go straight to the review of each product.

1. NARUKO - Rose & Botanic HA (Aqua Cubic Foaming Wash EX)

I love
the texture of it. This is not so foamy and this is hydrating a lot. It helps
my dry skin not to lose its moisture, as my skin doesn't go well with foamy
type of facial wash. About
the smell, I honestly don’t really like the smell of rose, but that’s quite
okay as the rose scent isn’t that strong.

About the packaging, the material is a good quality
one and the lid is tight, so it doesn’t leak (why I am mentioning this is
because I’ve met one big brand that I used to use it everyday but the lid is
not tight until it always leaks and it is quite annoying :”))

2. NARUKO - Rose & Botanic HA (Aqua Cubic
Night Jelly EX)

This is
AWESOME! The night jelly has a very light texture (compared to how other brands’
night creams) and it absorbs so quickly to the skin. It also doesn’t leaves any
sticky feeling and it feels so fresh to the skin. Would give this 100/100 but
no, maybe it would just be 99/100 cause the scent is not my favorite one (it’s
Rose, the same with the foaming wash), but again, that’s just my personal
preference, cause scent is something personal, right?

3. NARUKO - Rose & Botanic HA (Aqua Cubic Hydrating Mask EX)

Comes
up with protective plastic, it feels hygienic when applying it. Anyway, I don’t
expect I would love it that much. It may seem excessive, but really, I was
really shocked that the texture of the sheet is so soft (I cannot describe how
soft it is, but it is really soft), and the material makes it look so tidy on
your skin, I just really love it.

Btw,
the texture of the liquid is also different. It is so quick to absorb and also
not sticky as it contains much water and that is why it is really hydrating.

So ya,
I think that’s all for today’s review. Thank you so much for reading. See you
next time! (:

Hi
everyone! How are you? Anyway, how do you think about taking pictures and
posting them to instagram? Is it just to reminisce the memories or you take it
(posting pictures to instagram) seriously? Like it has to be visually great,
everything you post has to match the feed, etc? For me, I’m the number 2! I’m a
visually-oriented person, so I think what I post should be great, at least to
me, at least, to please my eyes. Haha

Anyway,
talking about pictures, I like to take OOTD picture since a long time ago (even
since I was a kid haha). And I think I started to make a breaktrough by
learning how to pose. There are some ways that I learn. First, of course, get
the inspiration from others. It can be international fashion models,
influencers, or anyone whose photos do you like the most. Besides that, you can also learn
from people’s blogs, youtube, etc.

But
the craziest thing is.. I just learnt how to pose from an app! More
specifically, a game app! Isn’t that crazy? It is the most trending app that
everybody downloads by the end of 2018 (10 million downloads just for a few
months; on Google Play).

So
ya, here it is, the video review of the app and how I copy the poses. Hope you enjoy! Xoxo

So I went to Bali for a honeymoon (yeah I'm got
married already, even strangers thought I'm still a high school or college
student haha *happykid). It was December 3-8; luckily we went back Jakarta
at 8 (Saturday) as Bali became very jammed since Friday because of DWPx haha.

Anyway, before going there, I already searched for
some nice places we'd about to go and listed it, until it became a complete
itinerary, including the OOTD schedule for both of us. To make it more
productive, we came with different outfit for every venue. Maybe it seems
complicated, but remember, nice results never come easy, and so do photo
results. And nothing could still be there when time just keeps on going, but
photos; they stay there to make us remember the complete memories, especially
the sweetest one.

I create the blog not sequentially. but based on the
topics I'm about to talk, so.. Here it is, on the fifth day, being in a Vegan
restaurant with the sweetest decoration called Kynd Community(read: kind community); one of instagramable places to visit in Bali.

When it comes to posing, use your instinct. Feel the moment you are feeling, don't doubt. The results would turn out great when you full-heartedly express your feelings. But before you got the sense, of course you can get inspired by fashion influencers or bloggers.

No wonder that people would come here and bring their camera and dress nicely, right? Don't forget to put it on the list as it is one of my favorite instagramable places in Bali, maybe it could be your favorite too!
